Sort of a weird God that will bequeath a 2 year old child a brain tumor, and at the same time let Trump kill a few hundred thousand people and ruin a society.

Hope the criminal is back in the WH after having done his religious duties and is glued to coverage of what he has wrought and the response it’s gotten.
If he was upset because people thought he was a coward being Bonkers the Bunker Boy, what will he think when he sees all the appalled response to what he’s done.
Waiting for the next over the top unhinged response from the racist in chief.

“It was painful to watch peaceful protesters be subjected to tear gas in order for the president to go across the street to a church that I believe he’s attended only once,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). “I thought that the president came across as unsympathetic and as insensitive to the rights of people to peaceful protest.”

Sasse headed Concordia University in Seward, NE. Missouri Synod. History PhD. I once thought he would be a steady contrast to Trump. LOL. He has calculated his way forward is not breaking with the amoral Trump.

Good thing he didn’t try to politicize the Word of Jeremy.

Ben Sasse showed us who is was during that disaster of a high school commencement speech. Why give him any further coverage?

BTW, I believe that former Vice President Biden made a major speech today. Granted, it wasn’t bloody or lie-filled or racist but maybe it could be the main story? :unamused:
